Pottingeria, Its Taxonomic Position, Anatomy and Palynology

Kew Bulletin

On grounds of morphology and anatomy, it is shown that the monotypic South East Asian genus Pottingeria, hitherto referred to the Escalloniaceae, must be excluded from that family. It is pointed out for the first time that Pottingeria possesses stipules. A closer affinity with the Flacourtiaceae and Celastraceae is suggested, and the genus is finally transferred to the latter family, as the new subfamily Pottingerioïdeae. All known collections are cited, and a new variety of the single species, P. acuminata var. latifolia, is described from Siam. The anatomy of twig and leaf and the morphology of the pollen are described, but give little help in elucidating the correct taxonomic position.

New species, subspecies and varieties are described in a number of genera of Euphorbiaceae, mainly from Malesia, together with new combinations, synonyms, records and other taxonomic notes. In particular, (CL) a second species of Ashtonia is described, (CLI) 42 new species of Glochidion are described, (CLII) a provisional key and synopsis is presented for the 56 species of Glochidion recorded from New Guinea, (CLVII) 6 new species of Croton are described, chiefly from New Guinea, and (CLXIV) a new combination is proposed in Bocquillonia from New Caledonia, with a key to the known species.

In addition to the above, there are sporadic reports of hothouse aliens in Britain and Ireland dating back to the 19th century (Turton 1826(Turton , 1831Brindley 1906;Sturgess Dodd & Woodward 1906;Swanton 1906;Ellis 1926;Kennard & Woodward 1926), but systematic recording only commenced in the early 20th century with the publication of surveys of the fauna of Kew Gardens in London (Sich 1907;Verdcourt 1949;Airy Shaw 1973;Verdcourt 1993aVerdcourt , 1995Verdcourt , 2009.

... Due to its rarity and restricted occurrence, P. rupicola has been assessed as a critically endangered (CR) species on the IUCN Red List . As a rare monotypic genus, the taxonomic treatment of the genus Pentactina has been controversial since Nakai's original publication (Nakai, 1917;Lee and Hong, 2011), with some taxonomic reviews recognizing this genus as a synonym of the genus Spiraea L. (Hutchinson, 1964;Kalkman, 2004). ...

... In this study, GC-MS analysis offered influence measurements on the non-and lesspolar components with a key role in the characterization of 22 fatty acid derivatives. On the other hand, LC-MS analysis comprises a wide variety of compounds predominant as primary or secondary metabolites, such as amino acids (1), organic acids (3), lipids (14), terpenes-sterols (6), sugars, and phenolics (8), and NMR offers the structure elucidation of 5 individual components, as well as the metabolite fingerprinting. These methods were equally adapted in order to provide both an inclusive impression and complete analysis of the critical components existing in the plant material. ...

Airy Shaw created the monotypic genus Tapoı¨des to accommodate it and he (Airy Shaw, 1967b) classified Tapoı¨des in tribe Jatropheae of the subfamily Crotonoideae. ...

The Carlemanniaceae is a small family comprising two genera that are distributed from Southeast Asia to Sumatra: Carlemannia, which has three species, and Silvianthus, which has one species with two subspecies (Airy Shaw 1965;Thiv 2004;Yang et al. 2006). Although both Carlemannia and Silvianthus were first included in the Rubiaceae (Bentham 1853;Hooker 1868;Schumann 1891), they have usually been placed in the Caprifoliaceae (Solereder 1893;Hutchinson 1926Hutchinson , 1967Wagenitz 1964;Cronquist 1981) or in a separate family, Carlemanniaceae (Airy Shaw 1965;Takhtajan 1997). ...
